Armstrong Wood Splitting Machine!

Careless and dangerous. An axe should never be thrown or placed on the ground after use.

he kinda looks amish...

[IWantDaveKast]

such power

[dirtTdude]

i didnt think he would last long

Thoreau said that firewood warms you twice, once when you cut it and again when you burn it. Here we have evidence that he was right. Great workout.

@junior2004hasz

its actually thrice.

when u chop it, when u stack it, and when u burn it.

[IWantDaveKast]

@lasersight70

you chop down a tree and split billets

i luv splitting wood in the winter

[mountfields]

that`s why I luv my tractor logsplitter ...

[stihlapache]

actually, when the water in the wood is frozen, it is easiest to split. But, it all depends on the wood. For example, ash is easier to split when green/wet then when dry.....and i suggest ditching that axe and getting a maul/splitting axe. Also, i would stray from any maul over 8lbs, any more then that and you lose a lot of speed in your swing. speed compensates for mass.

@stihlapache

Agree. An axe can be very dangerous, besides- I've seen horrible leg injuries self-inflicted by experienced backwoodsmen.

IME, a 6-lb maul works better than 8-lb. Might be the higher speed.

no wet wood is easier too split when it drys out it's harder to split

[660magnum]

8lb maul ,couple wedges,sledge hammer and dont forget your chainsaw for the problem children (knotty pieces)

[Emperorlawson]

And yeah, splitting mauls are a hell of a lot better. Unless you just want the workout.

[Emperorlawson]

I always enjoyed splitting wood.  It's pretty fun.

[sloupyhangon]

this dude is an animal

[fuckfuckyouyou11]

Axes are NOT wood splitting tools.......get a splitting maul and save yourself 4-5 strokes!

With that red oak, you'd split it with ONE hit.

[lumberboy286]

Take it from me,,(lumberboy) use a maul, its a lot better,,,,

[Wallabydam]

if you used a 10lb or 14lb Moll insted of a Ax, it would have gone through that red oak a lot easier then bounching off it :)
